Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 686 Don’t Be Sorry

“I said, nothing happened!” Lainey was suddenly frustrated, and she did not want to answer any more questions.

Roman was stunned for a few seconds, but he didn’t react much. He continued to push Lainey back to the ward slowly.

He gently carried Lainey in his arms and placed her on the bed. “Are you hungry? I’ve made dinner.”

Only then did Lainey notice three insulated food containers of different colors on the table. It should be three meals, but why did he make three?

Sensing her confusion, Roman explained, “One is for Serina, one is for you, and the other is for Mr. Salter.”

Lainey suddenly remembered that she would always see these three food containers everytime she ate. It seemed that he had been delivering food to Jaydan for a long time. Thinking of her attitude just now, she suddenly felt very guilty. “I’m sorry.”

‘Why are you apologizing?” Roman asked as he placed the food on the table.

“I’m sorry for yelling at you just now. I should have talked to you nicely.” Lainey lowered her eyes.

Roman shook his head. “I know you’re depressed. It’s good if you can release your anger.”

The more he held himself back, the more guilty Lainey felt.

Especially since she had promised her father that she would study abroad. She could not tell him now, and for that she felt only deep guilt.

The reason why she told her father that she could only study abroad after revenge was that she knew that Roman’s enemy was also from the Hume family. She couldn’t refuse her father, but she could accompany Roman to complete the revenge. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“By the way, about that video…’ He didn’t dare to say anything more. He took a look at Lainey. It seemed that she didn’t care anymore. And then he continued, “It has something to do with Daniel. The video should be provided by him.”

Lainey clenched her fists under the blanket. “I knew it was him.”

‘Lainey, I’m useless. I didn’t protect you well last time, and also this time,” said Roman in a gloomy tone. He had been holding back his apology for a long time.

Lainey reached out to cover his mouth. ‘ Don’t apologize. I don’t want to hear it, especially not from you.”

Everyone in the Easton’s old house hadn’t left yet, as if to prove that Robyn wasn’t lying. Matteo immediately found his friend to verify that it was extremely hard to find out who sent the anonymous email.

For the past half an hour of waiting, Matteo had been feeling uneasy, whereas Ainsley had been observing Robyn.

To put it bluntly, even though Robyn was crying, she still couldn’t fully believe her. Some people, in order to cover up their lies, would usually make up a new one, so she couldn’t be sure.

Matteo’s friend called to inform him that he could not find out who sent the anonymous email. The other party should have set up an anti-tracking program, or the address had already been changed several times before sending.

It was similar to a trap. Even if one tried hard to find an address, it might just be one of many fake addresses. No one knew which address the IP would become after unlocking this address.

When Robyn heard the results, she sighed with relief. And then she glanced at Mr. Easton.

Mr. Easton immediately said, “Don’t think too much, Matteo. I know you suspect everything for Aisy’s sake, but I also want you to trust your mother a little more. After all, she is the person who loves you the most in this world. No matter what her actions or intentions are, don’t go too far.”

“Dad, you seem to have changed a lot.”

In the past, after Robyn hurt Ainsley, it was impossible for Mr. Easton to speak up for her.

Mr. Easton sighed. “I’m old, and I’m very open-minded about many things now. I don’t want to be rich. I just want my family to live happily together.”

Just then, Ainsley suddenly stood up and looked at Mr. Easton solemnly. ‘Mr. Easton, is there any news about the matter I asked for your help last time?”

Mr. Easton immediately remembered that Ainsley had indeed asked him for help because of Jake, but he hadn’t had time to think about it for the past few days.

“Not yet. Aisy, don’t blame me for being slow. It’s really because those people who were still able to attend the family banquet are now all going their own way, some in other countries, and some have passed away. It is difficult to bring these people together again, let alone ask them to help recall what happened a few years ago. But, after all, it involves Jake’s business. Aisy, let me know if you know anything. I saw you and Matteo were hiding something from me when you guys came back for dinner last New Year. I think you must have found out something. Could it be that Jake did not die in a car accident?” His eyes were keen.

He thought for a while and murmured, “I still can’t fully trust you.”

However, Ainsley had no intention of telling the truth, especially now that Mr. Easton made her suddenly feel a little dangerous.

“Mr. Easton, it’s really nothing. I just can’t accept that he left because of me. That’s why I desperately tried to find any clues to prove that this matter has nothing to do with me.” Ainsley forced herself to say such cruel words.

Matteo looked at Ainsley disapprovingly. He understood what she meant.

But for Mr. Easton and Robyn, it was really great.

At least Robyn was relieved.

There were still many things to do at the company, and Matteo couldn’t stay at the old house all the time.

Even though he could confirm it, Matteo instructed, “Mom, Dad, if you receive any more anonymous messages, you must tell me!”

“Okay, don’t worry,’ Mr. Easton agreed.

Matteo and Ainsley exchanged glances and saw the complicated look in each other’s eyes. They decided to go home.

In Seaside Villa.

Daniel stretched out his hand lazily, and Georgia resigned herself to clipping his nails.

Then the urgent ringing woke him up, and he picked up the phone slowly.

“Who is it?” He frowned slightly.

The person on the other end had already started to speak, and Daniel’s expression darkened with every word he listened. It was not until he finished listening to what the people was saying that he waved his hand to Georgia and motioned her to go out and wait.

After Georgia left and closed the door, Daniel sat upright and asked with a gloomy face, ‘It’s impossible. How could I tell Ainsley about this?”

“If not, how did she get the screenshots?” The voice on the phone was sharp and harsh.

Daniel was confused and asked, “What screenshots?”

Robyn said, “The screenshots of the surveillance footage, which was from your villa. If it weren’t you, how could she have it?”

Daniel’s wrist trembled, and his phone almost dropped. His face turned pale, and he said in shock, “They got the surveillance footage of my villa?”

He immediately turned on his computer and entered a few instructions casually. Then, he saw a strange boot record.
